Lydia bought a car for $20,000. It is expected to depreciate at a continuous rate. What will be the value of the car in 2 years? Use k = 0.105 and round to the nearest dollar.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$16,021[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

[tex]V=P(1-k)^{x}[/tex]  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

k is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

[tex]P=\$20,000\\k=0.105\\x=2\ years[/tex]

[tex]V=\$20,000(1-0.105)^{2}=\$16,020.50[/tex]  

round to the nearest dollar

[tex]\$16,020.50=\$16,021[/tex]
